    In the bed in a state of complete undress...reading a novel and my iPad propped up on my chest and very warm with the fan on (my bedroom is South-west facing so is a sun trap) - loving the heatwave - another scorcher of a day here in Dublin 7. 😎☀️☀️☀️🔥🔥🔥

    I love the sun and warm weather - but at times I wish it would be a little cooler, especially at night...

    Stood in torrential rain earlier, in work now, the relief of it all.



  • Registered Users Posts: 12,387 ✭✭✭✭Sardonicat


    I can sniff rain in the air, if you know what I mean. Bringing in the two lines of washing I have out.

    Speaking of washing , highlight of the evening is two loads on the airer in the greenhouse 🙌

    Refreshingly cool here, no rain or thunder and lightning yet.

    I can't get too specific, but I've gotten very sick of peoples attitude to covid recently...a party I was invited to, one group were going to come even though one of their number had covid.. "sure the rest of us are all vaccinated" ...and another gathering last night....a couple's adult son is positive.. living at home..and parents were saying they were going to the party...of course I didn't go to the gatherings....I have no intention of getting sick for other people's stupidity.

    Supposedly Tralee has one of the lowest covid cases in the country....I think it's due to the fact that people just don't give a shiny shíte anymore and aren't getting tested......and breathe!!

    It's poxy, i see there's a mass protest in an australian city going on and many seem decide to be getting decidedly blase about safety both of themselves and others as you described by those things you experienced, imo we'll be damn lucky not to have another locakdown this year, i always felt it would be next year before we could lighten up at all.

    Tbh Grem, I cant see this delta variant leading to a lockdown... Leo already said he expects 4000 cases a day and a couple of hundred hospitalisations...that's won't be a huge stress on the HSE...so no lockdown...but there's talk of a new variant developing in England B.1.621 is it's sexy moniker....there's always a chance that a new variant will be vaccine resistant & the that's the fear for me....



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional West Moderators Posts: 60,187 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gremlinertia


    Exactly, we're not fighting it cohesively so resistant variants are the obvious danger.. Frustrating and I for one am tired and jaded but still cautious as I can be..

    Rome was fun, some great pizza and beer, and very few masks in sight. But thanks to the champion league final it looks like they will introduce a requirement to prove that you are vaccinated in order to enter indoor restaurants, bars etc on the 6th Aug.

    Strange thing is that you cannot add a tip to any card payment, I literally paid for everything using apply pay as I had no Euros, and it was impossible to tip anyone, felt kinda guilty.

    Sitting here eating left over Italian pizza, it is so so good.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional West Moderators Posts: 60,187 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gremlinertia


    Leftover pizza never sounded so tempting!.

    The vaccines are our greatest weapon in this pandemic. I overheard 2 people talking recently about not feeling comfortable with outdoor dining. As is their right and I understand all about fear.

    Coronavirus will be endemic in this country. We have to learn to live with it though and to trust in science and the amazing vaccines.We have 1300 cases a day yet society is partly open. That is because of the vaccines so another lockdown is highly highly unlikely.

    This isn't 2020 it's 2021, and as Paul Reid said the Delta variant is our last (emphasis on last) big challenge.
